Work Summary & Collector Notes

La Cage, ici! is a 2016 giclée on 290 gsm paper at 24 x 30 inches (61 x 76 cm). It was issued as an edition of 50 standard prints alongside a smaller run of 10 hand-embellished versions, each signed and numbered — a two-tier release structure common to Chevrier's giclée editions.

Why It Matters

The parallel standard and hand-embellished runs make this title a useful study in how Chevrier layered value across a single composition. The exclamatory "ici!" ("here!") gives the cage motif an unusually direct, present-tense address, distinguishing it within the series' typically reflective titling.

Collector Perspective

The standard edition of 50 is the more available tier; the 10 hand-embellished impressions carry the artist's added handwork and command a premium. Buyers should confirm which tier a given sheet belongs to, since the distinction materially affects desirability. Signature and numbering authenticate both variants.

Historical Context

Chevrier frequently paired a standard giclée run with a small hand-embellished sub-edition, and this 2016 release follows that model. Such structures let the artist offer both accessible and elevated versions of the same cage image, a practice that shaped the collector market around her prints during the mid-2010s.
